@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Many years ago, one of us left the butter—nearly a whole stick—uncovered in the kitchen, and the next morning it was gone. We both looked at the cat to see if he'd drop dead from hardened arteries or something before our eyes.
A few minutes later, I discovered a greasy sluglike trail across the counter and found most of a well-smoothed former stick of butter behind the microwave, where it had been nudged, inexorably, one lick at a time, over the course or the night, until the cat could no longer reach it.
